The recent security patch to copy-directory had the unintended side effect of 
refusing to make the destination directory when COPY-CONTENTS is non-nil and 
when the destination is a directory name. Sorry about that. I installed a patch 
in the emacs-26 branch, here:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?h=emacs-26&id=37b5e661d298cbfe51422cd515b6696a1cdaa868

Please give it a try. As I think it fixes the bug, I'm boldly closing this bug 
report; we can reopen it if I'm wrong.
